Feyenoord looked to have this one wrapped up at the break, cruising into halftime with a commanding 2-0 lead at De Kuip. But Go Ahead Eagles had other ideas. The visitors clawed their way back into the contest after the interval, scoring twice to snatch a 2-2 draw and leave the hosts frustrated. Anis Hadj Moussa was outstanding for Feyenoord throughout, putting in a performance worthy of the official nine out of ten rating, but even his brilliance couldn't prevent the collapse. It was a game of two halves in the truest sense. Feyenoord dominated possession and peppered the Eagles goal with 27 shots, though only six found the target. Go Ahead matched them with six shots on target themselves despite seeing less of the ball. Both sides won six corners apiece. The dropped points will feel like a missed opportunity for Feyenoord, who had the game won at one stage but couldn't see it out.
The Matchup
It finished 2-2 between Feyenoord and Go Ahead Eagles at Stadion Feijenoord (De Kuip), a scoreline that summed up a game short on clear separation between the two sides. Neither team could really take control of the ball for long, with Feyenoord holding 53% possession, close enough to an even split to explain why the game never settled into one side's favour. There were spells of pressure from both teams, but not enough to turn a share of the points into all three. Days like this are part of a long season, and how each side responds in their next fixture will say plenty about their form heading forward. Here is a closer look at how the two teams compared statistically.
